Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll make my comment very brief.
It's a pleasure to be in the company of economists, because I think we can speak on a macro and a micro scale.
We're talking about immigration purely from a numbers point of view, and I think that is totally wrong. If you are students of economics, you will remember the very basic macroeconomic model of the IS-LM curve, whereby you need to have your manpower, your money supply, your interest, and your labour in balance.
For those of you who are not familiar with the IS-LM curve, I'll bring it down to a micro level. When you run a company, if you're an entrepreneur you go out and hire the people you want to run your business in order to grow your business.
Perhaps the three of you could quickly comment on how immigration should really serve the economy, rather than the other way around, and what the best solution is. What is the vehicle? What is the policy we should put in place to do this?
Anyone...?
